Murray Gibson, late Premier of tn
Hawaiian Government, is still in th'
city, but says that ne will return in {
short time to Honolulu, despite the
opposition of the Revolutionary Ol
Constitutional party TO him. Som.
criticism having been passed upon his
statement that the United States
Government would not like the
course that affairs have taken i'm Hon
olulu, he was asked by an Associated
Press representative what the attitude
of the United States Government was
or the designs were toward the
Hawaiian Islands.
GIBsoN's EXPLANATION.
Gibson said, in reply, that the
American Government had been COM
PEELED to take cognizance of the fact
that the German and English Govern
ments had been steadily endeavoring
to- improve their position in the Pa
cific- Great Britain was in possession
of the FIJI Islands, and Germany had
her eye upon the Samoan group.
BONE OF CONTENTION.
"Samoa has," said the aged ex-
premier, "two contending sovereigns-
Malietoa, undoubtedly the rightful
sovereign and recognized as such by
the United States, and Tamassesse, a
pretepder, who is supported by Ger
man merchants and thereby able to
maintain armed opposition
EFFECT ON TRADE.
The contention of these two chief
tains has interfered with the business
of the country to such an extent that
the United States, Great Britain and
Germany have so far interfered as to
send Commissioners to investigate,
and their report has resulted in con-
ference at Washington to decide what
course is best to pursue
CONFEDERATION PROPOSED.
Samoa having proposed an act OF
confederation with Hawaii, he be-
lieved that the United States looked
upon this movement with favor, but
the revolution at Honolulu had inter
rupted this diplomatic scheme, and
Samoa, as a consequence, might fall
under German control.
FOREIGN CONTROL NOT WANTED.
Whether the United States would
seek to prevent this he could not say
He held to the view that the United
States would stand out firmly against
any other foreign control OF Hawaii
than her own, but she really desired
the autonomy OF all islands of the
Pacific.

DEBTOR DREW.
His Employees Make Things Un-
pleasant for Him.

SAN Diego, August 8. 9.-Excitement
over the failure of Joseph John Drew
to pay his laborers for the grading OF
a flume line continues. The office
of the flume company was besleged
to-day by the holders of John Drew's
time-checks. About 800 men are re-
ported in the city. Many OF them
without money and unable to stand
the expense OF waiting, have cashed
their time-checks at a discount.
A BETTER PROSPECT.
The trouble will probably be settled
tonight by John Drew's throwing up
the contract, and in that case the
F1ume Company will pay the out
standing time checks and charge them
to him. The men have quieted down
and will await further developments
until tomorrow, when, if the money
is not forthcoming, mechanics liens
will be filed on the work, which will
abrogate the contract and re;ult in the
payment of the laborers, who IRE being
boarded tonight at the expense OF the
local Knights of Labor.
DREW COLLAPSES.
John Drew has also suspended work
on his contract for sewering in this
city, and it is believed that he will
quit business and settle with his prin-
cipal creditors at fifty cents on the
dollar.
END OF THE DIFFICULTY.
Joseph John Drew finally surrendered
his contract tonight with the Flume
Company to build tunnels and grade
the line of the flume, and the COM
panys officers state that settlement
will be made with the creditors, other
than the laborers, on basis of %
cents on the dollar. The laborers will
be paid in full by the Flume Company
as fast as the payrolls and
books are received and checked up.
About $l5 900 is due the laborers, in
cluding 800 to the Giant Powder
Company, in San Francisco. The
amount due the other creditors is
about SIS 900.
THE WORK WILL PROGRESS.
The work will be finished by the
Flume Company without delay to the
completion OF the flume or injury to
its interests.
